Cade Rides the "Dog"

I have to write a quick blog about the latest cute thing Cade did. Of course he does multiple cute things on a daily basis, but every now and then there is something that I feel the need to broadcast to the world.

Yesterday afternoon I went to pick Cade up from my aunt and uncles. When I got there he was playing on his rocking horse. This horse has been put away in my old room (Cade's future playroom) for months. Well while he was rocking on it yesterday he looks at me and says, "I ride the dog". I smiled and excitedly said, "Yes, baby that's good. But, it's a horse, not a dog." He looked at me said "NO, DOG!!!" I laughed and said, "No, baby. It's a horse." He again replied with, "NO, DOG!!!". I again laughed and said, "Cade look at the mane on top of his head. Horses grow hair on top of the head, it's called a mane." Anyway, he kept arguing with me and saying "NO, DOG!!!" and occasionally would stop to look at me and say, "I ride the dog". It was so cute.

He was having so much fun. When I got ready to leave I said, "Cade are you about ready to go home?" He said, "No." So I waited a few more minutes and said, "Baby, mommy's going to go home, are you going to go bye-bye with mommy or stay here?" (Thinking he would immediately jump up ready to go home with me.) He looked at me waved his hand and said, "Bye-Bye".

He's growing up so so fast!!! I'm loving watching him get bigger full well knowing that one day I'll look up and he won't be a baby anymore!!
